Description
On March 30, 1930, the City of Beaumont and the Beaumont Rotary Club hosted the first official Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival held in the United States. It was a great success – in fact, it was too much of a success. Fully 32,000 people descended on Beaumont (when its population was only 1,332). Noting the tremendous success of the Festival and the need for a better facility, Dr. Guy Bogart, who at the time was president of the Beaumont Rotary, began searching for a more suitable location and found it in the vicinity of Noble Creek north of Beaumont. The Beaumont Cherry Festival has changed through the years but the ever popular annual event continues to this day.
